AN OOTA ANTHOLOGY
FOR 2013
Dear Members,
We wish to advise that OOTA has a new opportunity for publication of your work. In 2013, subject
to funding, we intend to publish an anthology of works by our writers. This
opportunity is for financial members only; we hope that you will participate by
submitting your work. You can start writing now, or delve into that bottom
drawer where those gems await to surface.
Submission Guidelines
Members have the choice to submit their work in poetry,
prose, or creative non-fiction. Please be advised that we will accept (only)
a) three works in total in this one submission. However,
you can choose a mixture of poetry, short story and creative non-fiction.
b) Poems to have a line limit @ 30 lines – Times New
Roman, size 12, single spaced. Stories to
have a maximum of 2,500 words – Times New Roman, size 12, double spaced. Similarly,
creative non-fiction has a maximum limit of 2,500 words – Times New Roman, size 12, double spaced.
Your work should not have
been previous published, but may have previously won or been placed in a
competition (but please provide the proper accompanying acknowledgements).
Please note: All submissions must have a cover sheet and if you are emailing your work it must be submitted as one file. NO NAME on the manuscript. Poems, short stories and creative non-fiction to include the "title" only. The cover sheet must come first as page 1.
Example cover sheet should show, as follows:-
